Welcome to the life and times of the Great Rock Eater! I hope you enjoy reading about my fabulous life as a retired Hooters girl and eater of all things edible and not so edible. I look forward to sharing my adventures with all of my puggy friends and their families.

So we planned to spend the 4th of July weekend with Grandma and Grandpa at their house. I was really looking forward to going to Wolcott and getting treats and loving from everyone at the festival.

Friday after mommy ran errands, daddy, Denny and Sam (from the Pug Posse) put up the rest of the fence and I was done getting beautiful at the groomers, we headed north to Grandma's. Who knew a day of pampering and driving could be so exhausting. But by the time we got to Grandma's I was one pooped pug. After dinner all I could do was curl up on a pillow and go to sleep.

Saturday morning came in a little cloudy, but we held out hope. The kitties seemed to know it was a day meant for sleeping. Chi was sleepin on the arm, yes the her skinny butt fits on the arm, of the puter chair in Grandpa's den. She seemed quite content to watchthe world go by from there. At least until lunch when she promptly parked herself on a stool next to mommy! If only I could jump like the kitty!! Life would be different =)

Poor Moe wasn't feeling well. She's diabetic like Pearl's cousin Molly. She's supposed to get shots twice a day too. Grandma said she hadn't been eating so tey wondered if she had gotten enough insulin while they were on vacation. Mommy found out last night, that since she had not been eating and possibly lost weight too, she was getting to much insulin. Grandma said Moe went into insulin shock Saturday night after we left. The vet said to give her sugar. How about that? Last time I got sick my vet didn't say to give me sugar. I think I need to trade vets =) So Miss Moe now has something in her lungs that she has to take two pills for and no more insulin until she starts eating like a big kitty again. I tried to be nice to her the whole time I was there. I didn't even try to move her when she was lying in the way of the front door. I kindly went around. See, I can be good pug!!

Unfortunately, there was to be no parade for us on the 4th. The Pug Posse parents came up to Grandma's house in hopes of fun and festivities. But instead, they got, lunch, Harry Potter and a wet trip through what was left fo the festival booths. Mommy harnessed me up and took me out to the festival to walk in the rain. Can you believe that??!?!?!? I could have stayed at Grandma's and cuddled on the chair, but no!! I had to go get wet with the rest of them. For that, I peed in every booth mommy stopped and about every 5 feet in between! I showed her =) We also saw Brutus and Yoda'smommy at the park. They got to stay home an sleep =P

We made the best of our day though. Mommy got new jewelry and daddy go fried stuff!! All in all it wasn't that bad.

Sunday, we stayed home and relaxed. This pug was pooped after walking in the rain . So I slept!!

Before I go, I have just have a few pleases.

*Please go vote for Dixie Bugg to be next year's poster pug!! I think you can vote until the end of the month!!*Please go vote for Melissa and Emmitt's fabric design!! She has created an adorable print!!

Last but not least, mommy promises to post my latest award from Sequoia and Petunia. I don't want them to think that I am an ungrateful pug!!!

Lilo sweetie, glad to hear you were a nice puggy to poor Moe - hope she feels better soon and remember kitties don't always need to be chaseded. I can't believe your mommy made you go out in the rain, especially after you went to the groomers and got bootiful. We were glad that mom and dad left us at home. Brutus is a little diva and doesn't like to get his feet wet.
